Is there a way to use separate keyboard & mouse along w/ laptop, & have the keyboard lower than top? (disabiltiy issues)

Depending in the size of your keyboard you may be able to open drawer and "bridge" it with your keyboard or get a thin piece of wood cut to fit on top of the open drawer to use your keyboard and mouse. There is definitely room on the top surface for a separate mouse

Well that is an awfully short table! I actually move my keyboard to the lower shelf that sits on the desk and the mouse to the side when I need to sit. Otherwise I put it on the top platform as pictured when standing.

Mouse is ok. But you can not use regular keyboard on it because it is for laptop, no extra space.

I don't use the mouse portion of this combo but I don't recommend the keyboard. Even with clear line of sight to the USB adapter, the keyboard needs constant adjustment to stay connected.

Nope. Lower keyboard platform is a fixed distance from the upper monitor platform.

You need a separate keyboard to get the benefit of the screen at eye level and keyboard at a lower level

You don't have to. It would be totally up to the individual. I attached mine because I wanted the keyboard lower than the desk.

You can use a separate mouse one way or another. Doesn't matter if the Trackpad is disabled or not. However, if you do want to disable the Trackpad, just do the following:Go to "Devices and Printers"Select the keyboard cover deviceSelect the Trackpad driver settingsClick "Change settings"Disable the Trackpad driver.

Yes. Use the Fn key in combo with the arrow keys. <Fn + Left> = Home<Fn + Right> = End<Fn + Up> = Page Up<Fn + Down> = Page Down...good question. I more-or-less stumbled across that lol (actually, I think it's pretty standard for smaller laptops with keyboards sans those keys, but I'd long ago forgotten).

There are 4 connections available on this unit. Forget the audio one. The mouse can be connected directly to the desktop. The keyboard on the laptop does not have an external connection. So no to it. The display on the laptop does not have an external connection, does it? So the answer is no way unless the laptop display has an external connection and you supply an additional keyboard.

I use the work station just for my wireless keyboard. The keyboard is pretty long so there isn't really room for the mouse next to it, but there's room for the mouse right in front of it along with a bottle of water or cup of hot chocolate. I realize that wouldn't work with a laptop though. Either way it's tight, but depending on the size of your keyboard, it's possible.

you should be able to. Just use the one end that matches the keyboard slot.

I use mine with a laptop; the laptop sits on top of the desk, and I bought an inexpensive keyboard that connects via a USB port. The keyboard tray doesn't fit the laptop, but this works well and only cost me around $15 for the keyboard. Easy to disconnect and take the laptop somewhere else when needed.

It does work as a mouse also, but not at the same time as the keyboard function. You have to use either one or the other, toggling between the two..

Yes you can, if you get a USB OTG adapter. However, you have only one USB port. You would likely need a keyboard with a trackball built into the keyboard to use both devices. Regardless, unless you send a lot of text, I do not believe you will need either a keyboard or a mouse. I seldom plug in my keyboard.
